NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NYSE:NLY) (“Annaly”) today announced
that its subsidiary Annaly Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. (“ACREG”)
has closed the acquisition of a portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping
centers. The portfolio consists of eleven properties totaling 1.48
million square feet.
ACREG will own the portfolio in partnership with JADD Management, a
commercial real estate company located in Rochester, NY.
This opportunity is consistent with ACREG’s equity investment strategy
of acquiring quality commercial and multifamily properties with stable
cash flows at attractive yields.
“We believe that this portfolio displays our commitment to strategically
building a broader equity investment profile within our commercial
platform,” said Robert Restrick, Annaly’s Head of Commercial
Investments. As of September 30, 2014, Annaly has approximately $1.6
billion invested in commercial real estate loans and properties.
"This acquisition allows us to continue with our strategy of acquiring
quality necessity-based retail real estate. Although our portfolio spans
multiple states, we remain heavily concentrated in upstate New York and
that market has always served us well,” said David M. Dworkin, a JADD
Management partner.
